What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Unleash business restriction. It's that simple, if you want people and enterprise to be productive give them allowance to do so. Restrictive factors(taxes, red tape) that prevent people and enterprise from engaging in progressive action slow business. Want more manufacturing? Ease restrictions. Want more service industry? Ease restriction. Want more education? Ease restriction. This is an easy concept to understand, safe and thoughtful implementation is more difficult. We must be thoughtful to workers rights, our environment, and act in the interests of the people.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?
I generally disagree with government subsidies, corporate welfare, and intervention in the marketplace. I understand the need/want for it, and that it can bring new industry/technology to the market. Sometimes it is necessary to keep keystone industry and business afloat; however the market should decide. The USPS is a good example. It is a private industry that has been failing for a long time. It needs to figure out how to operate in the black. The government has been funding this failing industry for years(which I appreciate), but should it? If USPS fails how would the vast majority of our people post parcels?

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Maintain and improve Medicare and Medicaid to ensure people always have a healthcare option. Then begin to promote competition in the industry. Transparency in pricing. Free market competition will promote best practices, efficiency, and more market options. Providers will begin to offer the services people want and need and will be forced to have competitive palns and prices to remain competitive in the industry.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
Primarily my citizenship. Anyone can run for and hold office by the mere fact of being a citizen that represents the people. Myself in particular, I have 21 years experience serving our nation in the Army. I led troops, played key roles in Maintenance, Logistics, Administration, Operations, and Training. I've worked with many diverse people and leaders and completed many missions in difficult do or fail scenarios. 1998-2005 I studied Economics and Business at Troy State University. In 2012 founded Beach House LLC, which provides low cost quality housing in Appleton. In 2018 I founded Free Market Education LLC, Which seeks to provide a free to use education platform to share generational knowledge and skill sharing. I am a concerned citizen, with a common sense approach to solving problems.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I remain focused on lean and productive government agencies and departments. I will continue to ask, What is the intended outcome and what is the most efficient means to meet that goal. I want WI agencies and departments to be the best, offer the best service for the best cost to the taxpayer. When developing a plan of action we must ask several questions. What is the primary intent of the proposed change, what are the anticipated net costs and what are the anticipated net positive changes. Then what are the secondary or downstream unintended consequences of that proposed change. Foremost I want to see action, I am disappointed in idle practices and indecisive leadership.
